What is a UW-Whitewater MBA?

Our MBA develops business people who are capable of thinking globally, behaving ethically, and leading innovation. This three-pronged orientation is evident in the content of every MBA core class, in teaching methods, and in assigned activities. You will have opportunities to practice using critical thinking skills as you make strategic decisions in cases and projects. You will learn to negotiate and persuade while you develop your skills in project management. You will assess your own behavior and improve your ability to work in teams. You will be a leader.

Common Body of Knowledge/Foundation (0-14 credits)

As you enter the MBA program, an advisor will review your transcripts to determine what courses may be required for you to complete the MBA. If you did not have an undergraduate degree in business, or if your business degree requirements differed from college requirements, you may need to take some or all of these Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) courses as foundations or prerequisites for the more advanced courses in the MBA. You may take these courses at the graduate or undergraduate level to complete requirements.
